I'm sorry I didn't give a comment on this photo during the voting.

I'm very surprised about the low rating, because I thought this was one of the best portraits of the lot.
It's a great shot and the "bizarness" is what makes it.
If only your bro was a cute looking girl, a kid or a pet huh? Nobody would give sh*t about DOF then :)

Congrats with a great pic and keep up the good work.

oversharpened on purpose to enhance the narrow DOF, i like the 'bizarre' appearance of my bizarre little brother - i got a 2-out-of-6 agreement with that assessment in the comments, so i suppose a lowest 1/3 showing is to be expected - anywho, the bottom line for me is that HE liked it

Whoah.. I think this needed a little deeper depth of field, because with those high contrast facial details all slightly out of focus it starts to look his face is rotting off or something. That might be a bit extreme, but it certainly isn't a desireable effect.

Intense! I love it!

Seems to me like you used too shallow of a DOF for this.

This looks overprocessed unfortunately. The features of his face are well captured but in some areas looks blurred. This is distracting. Good luck...5
